"Some time ago my son was taken sick
with serious lung difficulty, which threat
ened to end in quick consumption. We
summoned our family physician, who attend
ed him faithfully for four weeks, during
which time he gradually grew weaker. Be-
coming very mnch alarmed about himself, and
being satisfied that he was growing worse all
the time. he finally refused TO take any more
medicine from the physician. and expressed
a wish to try Johpson's Anodyne Liniment.
| Immediately told the physician, expecting
that he would object to his using it; but he
did not He said, let him try it; it won't

improve, gradually gaining strength, until at

the foundation of his disease was broken up.

Spokane Mammoths. From the Tacoma Ledger

W. M. Lee, the well-knoWn fruit grower of Tacoma, gives the particulars of 8 wonder ful discovery of bones of extinct animals in Washingto Territory. He says: "On my trip through the Spokane county I stopped at Latah and went to the spring where the relies were dug out. It is located on 8 low strip of springy prairie. The excavation around the spring is twelve or fifteen feet deep and thirty or forty feet across. The bones were covered by several distinct lay CTS. The first layer was ancient peat, then gravel, then volcanic ashes, then layer of coarse peat. From this spring were taken no less than nine mammoths, or elephants of different sizes, the remains of cave bear, and hyenas, extinct birds, and sea turtle. Some of the bones of the larger mammoth were wonderful to look at. The horns were sort of tusk, and protruded from the head just below the jaws, then upward over the head. By dropping the head in the act of feeding, the circle or the horns that extended below the JAWS partially rested on the ground giving support to the head which is estimated to have welgneo a ton.
 ''The horns were worn away several lnches deep at the bottom of the turn or halt circle, indicating constant use by rnDblng on the ground or rocks. One of these horns was ten feet and one inch long, and twenty, four inches in circumference. It welgheo one hundred and forty-nFe poun.e' Cno of the tusks measured twelve feet nine in ehas in length and twenty-seven inches around It weighed two hundred and ninety-fye pounds. The jaw weighed sixty three pounds. The molar teeth weighed eighteen pounds each. Some of the ribs were eight feet long. The pelvic arch was six feet across, and an ordinary man could walk erect through this opening. This huge and antique monster was eighteen feet and six inches high, and was estimated to weigh twenty tons.n

Curious Results Follow the Attorneys
 who Defended the Anarchists.
 From the Chicago Mail.l
 The Anarchist trials have had singular influence upon the attorneys who have taken part in the defense. Senior Counsel w. F. Black and Junior Counsellor Salamon and Sigmond Reisler have because of their re- lations to this famous case, had their old time law partnerships turned upside down. Lawyer Black was for years junior partner in the very old and conservative law firm of Dent 6 Black. Dent has been substantial, hard working, and responsible adviser, who commended himself to banks, railroads, and other rich clients. Black, the junior partner, was bright young man, quick and amiable before Jury, and an excellent supplement to the talents of the elder man. No firm in the city stood higher than Dent & Black among that very class against which it used to be the pleasure of Spies, Parsons and their fellow reds to most vehemently de- claim. It was one of the most incongruous things that ever happened in the legal pro- fession when the defence of the Anarchists was undertaken by Black. Nothing could have been more so unless the case had been 1eaSa pefsaps up by eOudy, GSn or or by 'iis ths general counsel of some one of the other big railroads. The result of so queer move was foregone. Processions of dynamiters, socialists and disciples of Henry George could not file into the same office with bank presidents, railroad officers and capitalists. The two classes could not comfortably kick their heels in the same ante-room, nor get their law from the same authority. The old time firm of Dent & Black was doomed, and, after the junior partner undertook the Anar- chists' defence, nobody vas surprised to learn of it's dissolution.
 The other counsel in the famous defence have had their partnership severed, too, but for not quite the same reasons. Solomon & Zeisler, before the Haymarket bomb WAS thrown, had the reputation of being pains taking law firm with good practice from small Hebrew tradespeople. It had also a clientage among the trades unions, especially among the foreign unionists. such as the fur niture workers, beer brewers and others. Zeisler is decided type of Hsbraic- German, with curling, reddish beard, and very red lips. He is a scholarly man, who is said to have taken the highest honors in one of the most famous of the German universities. Solomon is an indefatigable Hebrew without Zeisler's culture, but with an industry that has amazed his opponents in this case. These two young men fell out over their ranks in the case. The quarrel before the Supreme court is largely remem bered. Both could not make ad- dresses. Solomon, it was feared would do more harm than good. The result was that another law firm went to pieces in the Anar- chist case Zeisler joined prosperous law firm which has good commercial practice. Salo- mon is alone.
